Play ball! Provident Bank Park in Pomona reopens this spring and summer for another season of Rockland Boulders baseball and concert events.

Under the watch of new manager Jamie Keefe, the Boulders will play 50 home games in their quest to quiet the Quebec Capitales, who have won the CanAm League four years in a row. But while minor-league baseball has been the primary draw since the 3,500-seat stadium opened in 2011, concerts and family-friendly events have been added to the roster in more recent years.

Like most stadiums built in the 21st century, the ballpark boasts modern amenities, including party suites ($750-$900) and cheap seats (starting at $8) alike. There's a concession stand with more than just your ballpark classic hot dogs and pretzels -- think fruit cups, flavored popcorn and wraps). Children can pal around with the team mascot, Boulder Bird; celebrate birthdays with his buddy, Patti Cake; ride the "B-Train" that circles the concourse; and run wild through BoulderBerg, an outdoor playground complete with slides, swings, climbing walls and a jungle gym.

In honor of the former New York Yankees catcher who's a county resident and a partner in the Rockland Boulders franchise, ballpark staffers will hand out a John Flaherty bobblehead to the first 1,250 fans to attend this Boulders game against the Capitales. It's also '80s Night, so fans are encouraged to dress the part and participate in contests that some might describe as "totally rad."

Info: 7 p.m., Friday, June 28; cost: $8-$16

June 29: Sci-Fi Night

Fans are encouraged to dress in science-fiction costumes for the Boulders' game against Quebec, and to stick around for fireworks after the game.

Info: 6:30 p.m., Saturday, June 29; cost: $9-$17

July 4: Independence Day Event

To honor America's birthday, there will be a hot dog eating contest and, of course, fireworks after the game against the Jackals.

In addition to being known as the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, Rucker has had a successful career as a country artist.

Info: Friday, July 12; time and ticket prices to be announced

July 27: Irish Heritage Night

For this game against the Bears, the stadium hosts its third-annual Irish Heritage Night, which asks fans to wear green clothes, offers traditional Irish music and dance, and holds two postgame events: a fireworks display and U2Nation's concert at the stadium's Bridge Bar.

After the Boulders take on the Trois-Rivieres Aigles, fans can check out the fireworks, and local Girl Scouts troops can stay even longer for the venue's annual sleepover on the field. For more information about the overnight event, call 845-364-0009.

Beatles cover band Liverpool is slated to open the show.
